Parents who are ready to send their children off to kindergarten this fall can find information on the Halton Region website about how to make the transition. The Region has teamed up with the Halton District School Board, the Halton Catholic District School Board and Ontario Early Years Centres to create Kindergarten: Ready, Set, Go! A link to the webpage can be found at www.haltonparents.ca. The online source includes comprehensive information, checklists, growth and development resources and activities parents can do with their children. "Our website is the number one tool our residents use to find local information and support. Improving our site continues to be a priority." said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. "These new pages are easy to use and provide all the information parents need, in one place, to give their children the best start to Website helps prepare families for kindergarten school." According to the Our Kids Network Report Card, based on Early Development Indicators, almost one in four five year olds in Halton isn't ready for school. Halton Region and the partnering community organizations have pooled their expertise and resources to help change this statistic and ensure parents know what local resources and supports are available to them. "The transition to kindergarten is a significant one for both children and parents," said Halton Medical Officer of Health Dr. Bob Nosal. "These new webpages are about engaging parents to help their children build the skills and confidence they need to get started on the right foot and succeed in school." Packages promoting the new webpages and local programs to help families prepare are being provided to parents through both the Halton District and Halton Catholic District school boards.
